Northeast Locations Searched in Times Square Probe: "Two people have been arrested on immigration violations" By MARK PRATT, Associated Press Writer
WATERTOWN, Mass. FBI agents have searched several locations in the Northeast in connection with the failed Times Square car bomb. Two people have been arrested on immigration violations.
"FBI investigators enter a home at 39 Waverley Avenue, in Watertown, Mass., Thursday, May 13, 2010. Federal agents arrested two people and are searching locations in Massachusetts and New York on Thursday in connection with the failed Times Square car bomb, federal authorities said."
Agents raided home in Watertown, Mass., and a gas station in nearby Brookline.
Special Agent J.J. Klaver of the FBI in Philadelphia says agents are at locations in Camden, N.J., and Cherry Hill, N.J., following up on leads that he declined to specify.
Raids also were conducted Thursday on New York's Long Island. A law enforcement official tells The Associated Press the search warrants were executed at homes in the towns of Centerreach and Shirley and that no one has been arrested in New York in connection with the bomb plot. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
